Abstract

The support according to the invention comprises a preferably tubular hollow body which is provided, at one end, with a fixed or removable bottom from which a needle coupling element protrudes. The coupling element is provided with a breaking portion which facilitates its separation from the bottom. In this manner it is therefore possible to immediately and easily separate the needle which is coupled thereto from the support after use. The used needles and supports thus separated can be collected in appropriate containers.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
I claim: 
     
       1. Syringe device, comprising a hollow tubular vial-holder body and a needle, said hollow tubular body being provided, at one end, with a bottom sealingly attached thereto, said bottom having connected thereto a needle coupling tubular element protruding from said bottom along an axial direction with respect to said tubular body, said needle coupling tubular element comprising means to sealingly couple to a complementary coupling element provided in a median position along the length of said needle, one end of said needle being internal to said hollow body, said needle coupling tubular element comprising at least one breaking portion, said at least one breaking portion being provided circumferentially around said needle coupling tubular element and having a reduced thickness with respect to the remaining thickness of said needle coupling tubular element which thereby facilitates the separation of said needle coupling tubular element from said bottom after use of the device, said hollow tubular body being provided at its opposite end to said bottom with an internal threading on its internal wall, said syringe device further comprising a lid having an externally threaded lower end, said lower end of said lid being screwably connected to said opposite end of said hollow tubular body, said lid securing a vial inside said hollow tubular body. 
     
     
       2. Device according to claim 1, wherein said needle coupling element protrudes from said bottom along said axial direction and radially offset from the axis of said hollow tubular body, said needle internal to said hollow body being oriented at an angle to the axis of said hollow body with said end of said needle internal to said hollow body lying at a point substantially along the axis of said hollow body. 
     
     
       3. Device according to claim 1, wherein said at least one breaking portion extends on at least a portion of the outer surface of said needle coupling element. 
     
     
       4. Device according to claim 1, wherein said at least one breaking portion extends on at least a portion of the inner surface of said needle coupling element. 
     
     
       5. Device according to claim 1, wherein said at least one breaking portion is provided in a position which is circumferentially external to said needle coupling element at a point where said needle coupling element is connected to said bottom of said hollow body. 
     
     
       6. Device according to claim 1, wherein said needle coupling tubular element and said complementary coupling element are threaded coupling elements. 
     
     
       7. Device according to claim 1, wherein said needle coupling tubular element and said complementary coupling element are bayonet-like coupling elements. 
     
     
       8. Device according to claim 1, wherein said lid has two diametrically opposite grip elements, a rod being slidably coupled to said lid and passing through said lid along an axial direction with respect to said tubular body, said rod having a grip element at one end external to the hollow body and a hook-like point at the end internal to the hollow body.
